Rep. John Barrows (D-Ga.) said Friday that legislation was necessary to rein in the regulatory power of the Food and Drug Administration over food served from take-out outlets and convenience stores as part of the Patient Protection and Affordable Care Act, or Obamacare.

Thats why its essential that we be able to come together in this manner to provide this kind of relief from legislation that wasnt fairly vetted enough and regulations that are coming down the pike that are way too onerous, Barrows said at a press conference in support of the Common Sense Nutrition Disclosure Act of 2013.

Let's hope the Reps don't mend it. We need to end it. I am afraid that the Reps will try to fix Obamacare. They have already reduced reporting requirements, ended the CLASS portion of Obamacare (Long term care), and other small fixes. Next on the agenda is getting rid of the medical equipment tax,

We need to let Obamacare go into effect as written. The latest coming from the Dem political leadership (Steny Hoyer) is that no legislation is perfect and must be tweaked and modified. I see this as the theme leading into 2014. Specifically, the Dems want to make some "small" fixes to Obamacare in response to public pressure, but those terrible Tea Party Reps won't help them.
